Objective:
To develop educational videos on tracheostomy care for adults and the elderly in the home environment.
Method:
Applied and methodological research, with technological production of educational videos, developed in a public educational institution in Minas Gerais, Brazil. To validate the content of the scripts/storyboards, the population consisted of nurses and physiotherapists. To evaluate the videos, the population consisted of caregivers and adults/elderly people with tracheostomy. Data collection took place in February and July 2024. The following instruments were used: Validação de Conteúdo Educacional em Saúde and Suitability Assessment of Materials. For analysis, the Content Validity Index and the Adequacy Score were calculated.
Results:
Two educational videos were developed: Tracheostomy Hygiene and Fixation and Tracheostomy Aspiration, lasting 5 minutes and 2 seconds and 6 minutes and 31 seconds, respectively. Fifteen specialist professionals and 9 caregivers/patients participated in the study. The scripts/storyboards obtained a Content Validity Index of 0.90, Content Validity Ratio de 0.81, with a Kappa coefficient of 0.71. The videos obtained a total adequacy score of 95 points.
Conclusion:
The videos showed scientific reliability, high suitability and acceptability. They were considered clear, informative and relevant for the daily care of tracheostomized patients in the home environment.
